We posted in the Find a Third forum last week to get someone to come out to Elsinore with us and we ended up having Josh out with us today to ride. He was a really fast learner and we got him landing his first invert in just 2 sets. He had never done an invert before so it was pretty exciting. Nice job Josh!

Nicely done!!! Congrats on your first invert Josh.. Can't wait to land my first invert. It's on my to do for this season. That second one looked nice and floaty. No feeling like that of sticking a trick for the first time. Boat crew was just as pumped if not more so than Josh!!! Good stuff..

I love the Wakeworld community. When he lands it the first time the whole boat goes crazy, you would have never guessed this was just a random third. That's awesome. Good job Josh.

It helped that you were a good/willing student Josh. A lot of riders (even the experienced ones) tend to let their preconceptions of the trick or pride get in the way. You were very open minded and willing to make every adjustment that was recommended, as well as applying it quickly & without hesitation. Congrats man. What made it more epic was the fact that that was the first run of the year for you and you hadn't been on the water in months!
